The problem is that those libraries can have a high amount of dependencies.

Test Plan

Install the RPMs and test them

User Experience

The users should be able to download the libraries and start to work with it without problem.

In addition it might be interesting to create a package group Bioconductor, which allows to install those packages and their dependencies all at once. i.e. a "metapackage" such as R-Bioconductor:

yum install R-Bioconductor

Dependencies

They are included in the R libraries, most of them are in Bioconductor, some can be in the CRAN repository.

The question of the metadata and experiment data packages should be taken into account. These are heavy packages which do not evolve lot between release. Two of them are incorporated already into Fedora, they brought the question of inheritance between the version.

There is a "small" graph showing the relation (only "Depends") of the Bioconductor packages
